HOUSTON (FOX 26) - Three newNASA flight directors will manage International Space Station operations at Houston-based Johnson Space Center.

Amit Kshatriya, Jeffery Radigan, and Zebulon Scoville, who are all veteran employees at JSC, will lead teams of flight controllers, support personnel, and engineering experts in the Christopher C. Kraft Jr. Mission Control Center.They also are involved in cargo and crew vehicle integration with the ISS and developing plans for future exploration missions.

"These new flight directors will help us transition the knowledge and experience gained from our human spaceflight programs into the next period of ISS operations," said chief flight director Norm Knight. "This includes the development of new technologies and techniques for our exploration and commercial endeavors."

Kshatriya, Radigan and Scoville will supervise U.S. commercial cargo spacecraft and American commercial crew transports as they arrive at and depart from the space station. They will also help ensure that crews of the orbiting laboratory have what they need to conduct scientific research and help better prepare NASA for long-duration exploration in deep space as part of the development of the Orion spacecraft and its Space Launch System heavy-lift vehicle.

The three flight directors will also assist crew members as they demonstrate emerging technologies aboard the space station that will help the agency accomplish more significant space exploration goals.

Following completion of training and certification, NASA will have 26 active flight directors supporting the space station, exploration, commercial spaceflights and new technology demonstration initiatives. BeforeKshatriya, Radigan, and Scoville were selected, 83 people had served as flight directors throughout the more than five decades of NASA-led human spaceflight.

Kshatriya started his career at JSC as an instructor for the space station robotics system responsible for training multiple space shuttle and station crews. He is from the Houston area and earned a Bachelor's degree in Mathematics from the California Institute of Technology and a master's degree in mathematics from the University of Texas at Austin.

Radigan began his career at JSC as a member of the station flight control team assigned to the electrical power system. He is originally from Ohio, and earned bachelor's and master's degrees in electrical engineering from Ohio State University.

Scoville started his JSC career as both an instructor and flight controller for the Extravehicular Activity operations team and has experience in both space shuttle and space station operations. He is originally from Vermont and earned a bachelor's in mechanical engineering and a master's in astronautical engineering from Stanford University.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - You wont be able to see the International Space Station in the sky for another few weeks - and even then it will pass overheard during daylight - but you can learn a lot more about it at an exhibit at the Indiana State Museum.

Destination Station has landed at the museum, depicting life on the space station and detailing the many scientific experiments conducted in outer space. It runs through June 29.

In conjunction with the exhibit, NASA has had its Driven to Explore mobile unit, which features a lunar touchstone, in town this week. On Friday the vehicle was to stop at the Indiana State Museum to mark International Space Station Day.

Its all part of a plan to increase NASAs exposure in places like Indianapolis, which do not have a significant NASA presence nearby, The Indianapolis Star reported (http://indy.st/1lCKsND ).

We want to make NASA more accessible, said Jenny Knotts, a NASA spokeswoman. We want to let them know were still in business, and we want to inspire the next generation.

NASA wanted to reach out to places here like Eli Lilly and Co. and Roche Diagnostics to talk about potential partnerships with experiments, Knotts said.

The Indiana State Museum leapt at the opportunity to teach their visitors more about the space station.

I find myself surprised that people dont know about what the space station is, what they do. Its really an orbiting science lab. Its really important we on Earth know what its function is, said Peggy Fisherkeller, the museums curator of geology who curated the exhibit.

Astronauts today strive to be more accessible, making frequent school visits to talk about the work they do. Earlier this week, Dr. Serena Aun, an Indianapolis native, visited the museum to highlight aspects of the exhibit.

Destination Station details some of the more than 500 experiments conducted on the space station in medicine, human biology, material science, biology, plant growth and animal life. The space station houses six astronauts at a time and has been home to ants, spiders, minnows and other animals.

Swanson compares space to 'being a kid and you find the best playground in the world'

Astronaut Steve Swanson, a University of Colorado graduate now living aboard the international space station, tries to spot Boulder every time the vessel flies by the U.S.

But the space station orbits Earth at roughly 5 miles per second, so even on clear days, he usually whiffs.

"I thought it would be easy," said Swanson, 53, during a video chat with students Wednesday. "You think you'll just look for the mountains, but by the time you take about 10 seconds to process it, you're past."

Donning a CU T-shirt and speaking into a floating microphone, Swanson who earned a bachelor's degree in engineering physics from CU in 1983 met for an hour with an audience of about 50 at CU's Fiske Planetarium, reminiscing about his days in Colorado and fielding questions on everything from gravitational physics to his distaste for space food.

He's been on the space station since March 25 and will assume command of the vessel in September. So far, so good, he said Wednesday.

"It's like being a kid and you find the best playground in the world, and then you get to stay there for five months," he said.

When asked his favorite part of living on the space station, Swanson didn't think twice.

"The best thing you can do is a space walk," he said. "The views are fantastic. The overall experience is just fantastic."

On one walk in particular, he told the audience, "I almost lost my mind with a sense of purpose."
